FOLLOW UP. Does anyone have any experience with the Snap Hoop Monster and if so what? Thank you. I would much appreciate any feed back.

I have the 8x8 and have only used it for quilting. This is perfect because it does not require stabilizer and also gives me a fairly large area to work on before having to re-hoop. I would not recommend the Snap Hoop for dense designs because it does allow some slippage.

Good to know. It is exactly the purpose I have in mind.

The reason why I had asked this question is the following. I had bought the 8x8 hoop and it worked great for about 10 hoopings. I thought it was a little too hard to slide in, but did not give it much thought till the machine no longer recognized any hoop larger then the 4x4. First I thought it was just the Snap Hoop but something told me to try my regular hoops. No recognition beyond the 5x7. Just asked me to change to larger hoop even though my 8x8 was attached.
The company send me a part to replace on the frame and it slides in much easier However my machine got messed up because of a defect on the original and now is with the doctor man.
I just want to say. If you purchase this and it feels too snug when attaching, don't do it. I compared the 2 pieces and the first one has 2 snags in it, which in my opinion caused the problem. Now to see what the repair man has to say.

Thank you for sharing that. That was a lot of money and now you will be out even more on repairs. I'm sorry it happened to you.

Hmmm, I would be talking to the manufacturer of the Snap Hoop about the cost of your repairs due to the defect in the hoop you had...they should pay for your repairs...

I am in contact with the manufacturer and the merchant. I had planned on bringing in the machine for cleaning anyway, but I will see if there is additional cost.

A very interesting topic! TTT for more info..

I have the 7 x 11 and the 5 x 7 for my Brother Quattro. I love them both especially for quilting a larger quilt. I quilted a 40 x 50 quilt using the 7 x 11 and it turned out great. Looking forward to trying edge to edge in the hoop next. Would highly recommend it.

Thank you. That makes me feel better.

I do not have one. I have watched the you-tube video of it and it may be just me, but it appears that it would be a bit difficult to hoop straight with some of the larger hoops. In the video, she also tugged on her project and I have never had any luck with that method. It always puckered my design when I did it that way. It might just be a matter of adding more stabilizer, but she didn't mention stabilizer in the video. I'll be interested to hear from some Cuties who actually own one.

Thank you

I watched the video too and I didn't see her using any stabilizer at all. I thought you always used some sort of stabilizer. This product would certainly do away with hoop burn if it works as advertised but it is a lot of money to put out if it doesn't work well. I would like to hear from those who have used it.

No, but this question deserves bringing up to the top!
